 SUNDAY:   . During lunch at LaPorts with several friends (Marlene, Betty, Glenda and Andrea) after church, Marlene suggested that we go to the Arts and Crafts Fair since it was just a half a block away. It was a terribly hot day. We walked through about 2/3 of it before giving in to the heat. Neither one of us purchased anything.  We ran into Wayne and Sharon Dent and talked with them for a couple of minutes.  I was surprised to see so many vendors offering hand crocheted items.   After an attempt at a nap, I worked more on organizing my postcard collection and then I uploaded the pictures I took at the craft fair to Flickr.  I found the documentary about Hannah Arendt on PBS.   I looked online for restaurants with buffets in Rochester because at lunch, Betty asked me if I remembered the name of the restaurant we took Myrna to a couple of years ago.  I found out it was GOLDEN CORRAL, so I called and left her a phone message. ...

 SUNDAY: Before church, I went to Panera and got a drink and then to CITIZENS to get some cash out of the ATM.  It said my card was not valid so I was unable to get any cash.   After church, there was a Seniors (CONNECT) event:  lunch at the Parkside Diner which is not really a diner, it is more like a drive in type place.  There were 26 or 27 people there. I had the chicken sandwich, which was very good.  Part of the plan for the event was to go next door to HALF BAKED for ice cream, but I don't think anybody went. I stopped at NorthWest to try to get some cash.  I was not sure of my password, so I tried two different ones, but neither one of them worked.  At home, I took a nap and then I talked with Peggy on the phone, fiming up plans for tomorrow when we will go to Shirley Hazel's funeral.  Peggy will be doing the funeral, so we are leaving early. We may or may not go to the meal afterwards.  I worked a little bit on sorting and ...

Christa typed this in FB private message:      I would like unwanted children, babies, adults, however you look at them.. i choose for the unwanted to be eliminated, yes. How dare a person bring an unwanted person into the world. How dare you.  SUNDAY:  Church was very good today.  We were able to move up one row and Louise and Maggie joined us, Betty and Jan were not in church today.  It was Fathers Day Sunday and Pastor Craig worked that into his sermon.  There was a WALL OF TOOLS AND DONUTS in the lobby so that the Dads could have donuts and each dad was also given a gift.  After, Marlene, Glenda, Andrea, Louise and I went to THE OLIVE LEAF for lunch.  I had a chicken souvlaki on pita bread (recommended by Glenda) and I ordered a salad to take home with me.  Before going home, I stopped at Panera's and got a large iced tea.  I took an afternoon nap and then I spent some time going through the several junk drawers in the lar...

 SUNDAY THE 8th:  I almost decided to stay home from church this morning because I did not feel all that good, but as time went by, I decided I felt good enough to go, so I did.  After I had been there several minutes, I realized that I felt fine.  At Betty's request, we moved to a row much closer to the front.  Peggy said she had seen Marlene in church, but I watched for her and did not see her.  Lori had said she would be in church and would be able to go out for lunch, but I did not see her.  So, Betty, Glenda and Dee McDonnell went to LaPorts for lunch. I had the liver and onions and brought some of it home with me. After that, I got gas and picked up some pork ribs at Niagara Produce for tomorrows supper when Leslie will be here.  I did a few things at home, and then took a brief nap, and then called Leslie to confirm that everything is on track for her to leave Auburn and drive to Lockport tomorrow.  She will leave mid morning and proba...

 SUNDAY June 1st:  Church was very good this morning.  After it was over, Glenda, Lori, Andrea, Marlene and I went to Applebee's for lunch. I shared the two for $26 with Marlene and brought some of it home.   I invited Marlene to come to my place for supper tomorrow night, since I have so many leftovers from dinner with Lori last night.  I spent the rest of the day at home, resting and watching videos of PRINCESS cruises.    MONDAY June 2nd: I dropped off some items at the GOOD WILL this morning and then picked up a large iced tea at Panera, and then I met up with an at the Y this morning and we walked the track for a half hour or a bit more.  We ran into Louise there and she walked with us for a bit.  After that, I went to WalMart and purchased a few items including a canister of NESQUICK in order to make a chocolate pie.  I also picked up a small sun using the gift certificate I got from WELBIE.  I ate lunch at home and made ...

 Sunday the 25th:   First thing in the morning, I started making the soup for the SOUP AND SANDWICH lunch CONNECT event after church.  The crockpot was a pretty heavy so I decided I needed a box to put it in.  I emptied out one of those plastic milk cartons that were popular years ago, and lined it with towels, etc. and this worked well.  This made it easier to get out to the car.  Peg had suggested that I pull up to the church doors and stop and ask one of the men who greet people at the door to take it down to the kitchen.  I did that and one of the men said his daughter would do it.  I never got her name, but she was really sweet and helpful.  After I found a parking spot, I went down to the kitchen and took the crockpot out of the crate and plugged it in.  The service was very good.  When it was a over, I went down to the kitchen and helped Jan put tablecloths on.  There was a smaller group of people at this gathering ...
